Hi everyone, i’m not sure if i’m posting in the right topic or not but i have a question about how long it usually takes for universal credit to verify a child’s details when they have started to get DLA.

My daughter got awarded HRC/LRM, I reported the change to universal credit over 4 weeks ago so that the child disability element would be added on, i still haven’t heard back from them so i just wanted to know if its normal to wait this long? I understand that they have a backlog so i’m not complaining, just curious how long it took for others to get verified. Thanks in advance x

This is how long is a piece of string, I’m afraid. Some are done quickly, others take a long time.
